Bookmark To Blog's 2014 Monthly Motif Reading Challenge

Bookmark to Blog's Kim has decided to host a motif challenge for this year. The task is to read a book under the category that she has assigned to each month. I think it's a wonderful challenge and it's something that I could use to expand my blog and myself to books. ☺

MONTHLY MOTIFS: Jan- Around the World
Choose a book to read that takes place in a country different than the one you live in or choose a book written by an author that is from a country different than your own.

Feb- Award Winner
Read a book that has won recognition or a literary award. Here's a list of literary awards to help you get started on your search: Literary Awards.

Mar- Fairy tales or Fairy Creatures
Read a fairy tale retelling or a book with fey/fairies in it.

Apr- Short & Sweet
